Dreamcast Movie Creator

Hello,
I've been looking everywhere to find the Dreamcast Movie Creator software- I need to convert some videos to SFD for a fan translation project I'm working on. I read that someone here had it, would it be possible for me to get a link to it? The only version I can find is in russian, and... all the text shows up as question marks, despite me installing the russian language pack. I tried downloading the Katana SDK, but the movie creator wouldn't install for me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Tip: Kvcd quantization matrix works for the video and does a great job at reducing the file size.

In your opinion, what's the best resolution and longest length you could get an SFD under 4mb? For DreamPipe I can only have 96x96 at an absolute max of 2:25, even then there's glitching around 2:20. I'd like to put together a (legal) zip with a batch file that can turn an avi file into an SFD so people can easier submit videos. Or less time I have to spend downloading/converting/splitting/multiplexing the videos that're submitted

Here's a script I wrote a while ago. The size will depend on the bitrate and your eyes should be the judges of what bitrate is sufficient for a specific scene. It's much more automated than the procedure you described, only adx -> sfa has to be done manually via gui.

When I try to install the Standalone from SFDtools, all it does is extract some files to a temporary folder. One of those files is called setup.exe, but it does nothing, not even under compatibility mode for windows 98/ME. I'm using Windows 10, 64 bit.

You might want to use the bat file I posted earlier in a pastebin if there's an error with the notch matrix, I don't remember if this is the last version.

I never made a proper release of that script because it's inefficient and ugly and there's still a (single) manual step, but I don't feel like working on it anymore and it seems there's an interest in making SFDs, so I release it as is, no warranty whatsoever.

Trivia: It was first developped because of a SFD discussion in the chatbox in 2012, I then cleaned it mostly. People making releases with "kvcd matrixes sfd videos" in the last 3 years most likely used that pack.
